Menethil's Power

Chapter 197 State affairs
The opening of the throne room door naturally attracted the attention of several ministers and Terenas. The old king raised his head and looked at his son, "Hey, look who it is, our Star of Lordaeron has finally arrived." He joked, and the four ministers all agreed and gave Isaacs a friendly smile.

After accepting Christassa's life infusion, Terenas not only improved greatly in physical condition, but also became younger mentally.The main basis for this judgment is the movement from the king's bedroom in the past few days. Isaacs guessed that he would have a younger brother or younger sister soon.

This kind of thinking does not mean to disrespect Terenas and Queen Leanne at all, because this is really good news, and Isaacs very much hopes to see his family flourish.

"Sorry, there are some delays." The young prince explained, instructing the royal guards to close the door of the Throne Hall, "Everyone, we will now discuss the fundamentals and future of this kingdom. Content leaked."

"We're all ears." Terenas squinted his eyes and said in an encouraging tone. Obviously, he specially organized this secret meeting for Isaacs.The ministers were not surprised by Isaacs' words, they knew very well that the prince's mind was almost three times his appearance.

"Lordaeron has always been the most powerful human nation, and we have taken the most responsibilities in wars, but this still hasn't shaken our foundation." Isaacs started with this, "In just a few years, we Basically recovered, the overall national strength of Lordaeron is unprecedentedly strong, I think you should know this better than me, because this is all thanks to you."

The four ministers nodded slightly. They really put in a lot of effort.

"Before that, I think it's necessary for me to understand the specific situation. After all, I haven't been in Wangcheng for nearly a year. Can a few gentlemen explain it to me?" Isaacs asked.

This is a reasonable request, and the heir naturally has the right to know the family business he is about to inherit.

"If you want to talk about law and order, then the kingdom should be the safest moment now." Uther said first: "The Knights of the Silver Hand are growing steadily, and our heroic soldiers have expelled all the remaining wandering orcs. Most fled into Alterac Mountains, the Hinterlands, and the jungles of Zul'Aman, while the rest remained in Gilneas and Stromgarde."

"Our diplomatic situation should be pretty good." Foreign Minister Amber Rudd shrugged. The policy has cost us the friendship of our two neighbors, but at least Alterac has been completely incorporated into our territory. Thanks to the wartime alliance, Ironforge has become closer to us, and the dwarves have already Wetlands former Palatine Harbor renamed 'Menethil Harbour'."

The Secretary of the Interior, Victor Basolom, an extremely tall, stern-faced old man with a ridiculous wig, "our great country now has the best form of government on the continent!" Proudly announced: "Whether elves, dwarves, or other human kingdoms, their upper-level situation is far less clear than ours. Lord Prestor has completely wiped out those deep-rooted moths with an extremely decisive and brave attitude!"

Obviously, this person's thinking is not as old-fashioned as his appearance, and he has a very high sense of identity with radical policies.

The Minister of Finance Cottington Miller was stroking the thin beard on his lips. As the country's largest logistics director, he also had a round figure standard for logistics department personnel. "I'll make up for everything else. There are currently 600 million gold coins in cash in the treasury, and there are still a considerable number of antique paintings that have not been converted into specific amounts."

Forty-six million gold coins... Even at the national level, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, almost twice the current net worth of Isaacs.Although he knew Lordaeron's current treasury, Isaacs did not expect such an astonishing number. "Why are there so many?" He couldn't help asking.

"Lord Prestor has purged almost all the nobles in the territory, and many of them are even ancient families that have existed since the founding of Lordaeron. The wealth they have accumulated for generations is extremely amazing." Cottington's broad face showed a trace of Adoration expression: "Lord Prestor's squeeze of wealth is at the textbook level. He successfully forced the Barov family to spit out most of their property as compensation, and at the same time forced them to still pay when Gilneas and Stromgarde left the alliance. The cost of the shelter they should bear, and you also know that the orc shelter doesn't cost much at all..."

Judging from the statements of several main ministers, they all expressed their affirmation of the achievements of the former Lord Prestor. In just two years, Lordaeron, a country that was already in its twilight years, was actually in his hands. Back to life.Deathwing's intention was to turn this country into a sophisticated instrument, and he did so easily, but before he could enjoy the results, he had to run away because of the events of Dragon Day, so Mi The Nehil royal family is sitting back and reaping the rewards.

Isaacs couldn't help but began to say silently in his heart, thanking Lord Prestor, thanking Deathwing, and thanking the big cousin of the model worker.

"Since we are in a period of prosperity that has never been seen before, and we will not encounter any crisis for at least ten years in the future, then this is the best time to initiate changes. Everyone, the state of our country is the same as the 3000-year Arathor Empire Compared with the place where there is almost no progress, this is not normal, and the self-styled life should only belong to the long-lived elves. As a short-lived race, we must have enough courage to try to change." Isaacs talked eloquently, he He took out three documents, "And these are the plans I proposed."

Among the three documents, two are the popular version reports provided by Ronin and Matt, while the other is an accurate map of the world.

The current Lordaeron is essentially an agricultural civilization system of the monarchy. As a member of the royal family, Isaacs will naturally not be fooled into doing stupid things to change the system, not to mention that this is tantamount to digging the grave of the entire Menethil family Therefore, Lordaeron will face extremely severe challenges in the future, and a highly centralized political system is obviously much more effective than a loose Ming Lord.

Then one should consider how to strengthen Lordaeron's military and economic strength in a short period of time.

"First of all, I want to talk about agriculture. Lordaeron itself is a big grain-producing country, so this is not a problem. I found two druids in the Lost Islands who are willing to breed high-quality grain for us, and the pandaren also brought The unique planting technology has come, so the food production must be enough to meet the needs of the rapid population growth in the future. But what I want to mention in particular is the supervision of food hygiene, which requires the establishment of a separate department and the formulation of rules and regulations, so I won’t go into details here gone."

Evidently, Isaacs thought that the prevention of plague grains should start now.

Several ministers were flipping through Isaacs' documents and nodded upon hearing the words.Although I don't understand why the prince emphasized this point, at least he was right.

Minister of the Interior Bartholom was looking at the report on the magic power machine, and his eyes quickly lit up, "Do you want to promote the use of this magic power machine? Just like elves? How are these things cost-effective? Stability So what?" He asked like a cannonball.

"At least these machines can play a huge role on the battlefield." Uther put down Matt's combat report in his hand and said with emotion: "As a paladin, I must condemn the cruelty and inhumanity of these battle machines. But from the perspective of soldiers, I have to admit that they are the most suitable combat weapons, at least for human beings. Just like the "immortal" in this report, it can even make an ordinary person play Comparable to hero-level combat power, if every soldier in Lordaeron has such a piece of equipment..."

"Uh, I'm afraid it's hard to do." Isaacs shattered Uther's idea with some embarrassment, "Not everyone can drive such a war machine, and it also requires good talent and long-term experience. Training. Of course, these magic power machines can not only be used in warfare, their efficiency in collecting resources and transportation is almost equal to hundreds of orcs, and they can be completely applied to the smelting and manufacturing of various metal products."

"The idea is very good, but you didn't mention the key points, Your Highness." The Minister of Finance Cottington pointed out without hesitation, "You should tell us the cost of manufacturing these precision machinery. You need to know the price of magic ores like arcane crystals and It's expensive, and if the value of these machines can't be compared with the energy ores they consume, then they are obviously not great inventions."

"There is no doubt that the cost performance must be satisfactory. What should be considered is how to obtain a large amount of energy ore to drive these machines, and there is already a rough solution to this problem." Isaacs unfolded the world map. Danlun's sphere of influence was painted white, especially the island in the endless sea.

"For a long time, Lordaeron has focused on the land and ignored the vast ocean. In fact, there are a lot of wealth hidden in the ocean." Isaacs pointed to the map, "The Lost Islands, the land I went out to open up this time , it has an extremely large amount of Kaya ore reserves, Kaya ore is a kind of ore that can be used as a substitute for arcane crystals, and it is this kind of ore that supports the mechanical civilization of goblins."

"Of course our eyes shouldn't be limited to such a small island." Isaacs' finger moved westward from the location of the Lost Islands on the map, and landed on Kalimdor, which was comparable in size to the Eastern Kingdom. .

"Here, there is still a whole continent..."
